Legora is building the agentic operating system for legal work

Legora, founded in Stockholm in 2023, is building what CEO Max Junestrand calls "the agentic operating system for legal work," integrating AI into daily legal workflows. OpenAI has been a key partner since the release of GPT-3.5, and Legora uses OpenAI models for core functions like agentic legal work and document review. Internally, Legora uses ChatGPT Work, Codex, and other OpenAI tools to boost engineering efficiency—coding agents allow rapid prototyping and bug fixes in minutes. Legora's own legal team has reduced time spent on NDA review from ~20% of capacity to under 1%, freeing time for higher-value work. Customers see measurable results: one Fortune 100 client achieved 90% faster contract turnaround, saved over $20 million on external litigation and diligence, and returned 9.5 hours per lawyer per week. Legora's leaders emphasize using AI themselves, starting with the problem, building internal champions, being ready to rebuild as models improve, and designing for trust. Looking ahead, Legora aims to expand AI's scope to longer-running tasks and real-time collaboration between lawyers and AI, ultimately transforming legal teams from bottlenecks to business partners.
